Ingredients

• 3 whole medium beetroots
• 2 cups baby spinach leaves
• 0.5 cup feta cheese
• 0.25 cup almonds
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon honey
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash the beetroots thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Trim the tops and roots, leaving about an inch of stem to prevent bleeding.

Step 3

Wrap each beetroot individually in aluminum foil, place them on a baking sheet, and roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 4

Once roasted, remove the beetroots from the oven, allow them to cool slightly, then peel away the skins using your hands or a small knife. Slice the beetroots into thin wedges and set aside.

Step 5

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is well combined.

Step 6

Place the baby spinach leaves into a large salad bowl. Add the sliced beetroots and crumble the feta cheese over the top.

Step 7

Gently toast the almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 8

Toss the salad gently with the dressing until evenly coated. Sprinkle the toasted almonds over the top just before serving.

Step 9

Serve the salad immediately, enjoying the balance of flavors and textures. Adjust salt and pepper to taste if necessary.
